Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 11:

“Get Ryan here,” Daniela instructed briskly.

Lillian was confused.

“While this marriage has to end, I must clear my name too,” Daniela explained.

Lillian strode across the hallway, pushed open the door opposite Daniela’s, and called out, “Ryan, Daniela needs you.”

Ryan Parker’s brilliance lay in his obsession with technology, spending most of his time secluded in a server room. But today, he was here for one reason—to welcome Daniela.

Draped entirely in black, his hooded sweatshirt cast shadows over his face, leaving only his pale lips visible beneath the shroud. His complexion, stark and ghostly, gave him an unmistakable vampire-like aura.

“Daniela, what can I do for you?” Ryan’s tone was calm, with a hint of curiosity.

Daniela sent the recording to Ryan, declaring, “I want this recording and the surveillance footage broadcast across every media outlet for the entire week, starting tomorrow morning.” Ryan nodded and made an “OK” gesture.

As the sun began to rise, Daniela laced up for a morning jog, enjoying the calm solitude of the deserted streets.

Upon her return, she appeared rejuvenated, her skin glowing from the rush of her morning exercise. Meanwhile, Lillian emerged from her sleep, disheveled and bleary-eyed.

“Good morning, Daniela,” she mumbled, her voice thick with sleep.

Daniela changed into fresh attire. Stepping out, she caught sight of Lillian’s groggy figure and advised, “Go back to bed. I’m heading out.” This roused Lillian fully, who called out energetically, “Your life will be sailing smoothly from here on.”

Outside the courthouse, Daniela paused at the entrance, her presence undeniable in a stark white dress that highlighted her statuesque frame and accentuated her long legs. She commanded attention effortlessly, the bustling environment turning into a mere backdrop to her poise.

Bystanders, whether they were there to tie the knot or sever ties, found their gazes inadvertently drawn to her.

Across the street, parked under the sprawling shade of a large tree, Alexander sat in his car, observing the scene.

He couldn’t help but scowl at the admiring looks Daniela received from passersby.

As Daniela waved off the tenth man asking for her number, Alexander flung open his car door and stepped out.

Watching him approach from afar, Daniela noted the familiar cold, detached expression etched across his face. Such indifference once pained her, but now, it barely registered.

In a nonchalant tone, she declared, “Let’s get going.”

However, before she could move forward, Alexander reached out, capturing her wrist in his firm grasp.

A frown marred Daniela’s features, and with a quick tug, she freed herself, taking a step back.

The corners of Alexander’s mouth turned down, his face clouding over with a mixture of anger and disbelief.

“Daniela, don’t test my patience. It’s wearing thin!”

With a scornful laugh, Daniela retorted, “Soon, you won’t have to tolerate me anymore. I’ve been here over three hours. Let’s expedite this, shall we?”

Alexander’s face darkened further, his tone edged with a dire warning.
